Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 190 g unbleached all-purpose flour
- 190 g cake flour
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 24 g baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
Butter & Mix-ins
- 226 g cold unsalted butter cut into cubes (2 sticks)
- 120 g dried cranberries
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
Wet Ingredients
- 360 ml buttermilk or as needed
For Finishing
- 1 egg beaten with a pinch of fine sea salt (for egg wash)
- 50 g turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat and prep
- Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. If using convection oven, lower the temperature by 20 F (15 C)
Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Cut in butter
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes
- Add the cold cubed butter. Using a pastry blender (or your fingertips), cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter visible.
Add wet ingredients
- Combine buttermilk and orange extract in a separate bowl. Gradually pour into the dry ingredients, folding gently until the dough just comes together. It should be soft, moist, and slightly sticky with visible butter chunks.
Add cranberries and zest
- Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed.
Shape the biscones
- Lightly dust the surface with flour. Using a #16 ice cream scoop (¼ cup / 60 ml), scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Finish and bake
- Lightly flatten the tops, brush with the egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
Serve
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite jam or butter.
